Right Start Radio With Pastor Jim Custer

Political leaders believe they're working for "the people," or for their country, or for their legacy. Fiction. Fiction. Fiction. Anyone placed in a position of power works for God. He or she is a deputized agent of the Almighty for suppressing wickedness and promoting righteousness. And this is true, by the way, whether the leader is a Christian, a pagan or an atheist. Even the greatest king in history. Even the coming Antichrist.

Your newsfeed needs an interpreter! Ideally journalists would tell us about events that really happened. But even then, those occurrences would need context, and some sort of key or template so that we could make sense of them. You're way ahead of me: The Bible is that key. Today's headlines are just random recitations without the grid of the eternal Word of God. Let's take another peek at the back of the Book, Revelation 13. Here's Jim with Part 2 of his message, Satanic Imagery.

Is the Antichrist creeping up on us? Will we awaken one day to find the Mark of the Beast hidden in our computers, our phones, our watches? We know that the devil loves to quietly infiltrate our institutions - including our churches. The Snake is a sneak. But in the Last Days he'll be a lot less subtle. Big, worldwide signs and universal edicts will be his new style. Today, we'll learn some of that Satanic Imagery, with Jim.

Here's the world's biggest geography problem! If the End Times prophecies are to be fulfilled - including some made by Jesus Himself - then we have an issue. We'll need a temple for the Antichrist to desecrate, and God's temple has only one possible location: on Mount Zion in Jerusalem. Not only is there no temple there now; there's a mosque on that hill! Here's Jim to give us the solution to this geography problem, in Part 2 of, Keep Your Eyes on Jerusalem.

God has a clock... and a pin! The locator pin on God's map is stuck into 31.2 degrees North latitude, and 35.2 degrees East longitude: Jerusalem, Israel. That's the Last Days hot spot. If God is to fulfill His promises to the Jews, He has work to do in the City of Peace. That's why Jim says, "Keep Your Eyes on Jerusalem."

RS08252025_0.mp3Scripture References: Zechariah 12; Daniel 12

Has Jesus returned already? Some early Christians were upset to hear that the Lord had come back, and they had missed it. That sounds kind of silly to us because we know that, when Jesus appears, no one will miss it! We have His word on that. And there are some events that must happen first. There's a mass de-conversion, for one thing; the Apostasy. And the capital-A Antichrist has to arise. We're in Daniel 9, talking not about the Rapture, but the Return.

"Does anybody really know what time it is?" When it comes to reading the signs of the End, there's a lot of confusion. Some of that is intentional. Some of the befuddlement comes from putting too much stock in speculation - ours, or a teacher's. But Jesus wasn't confused. His watch was accurate to the nanosecond. He knew the prophetic time the same way we can know it: by the prophetic text. Here's Pastor Jim with part 1 of, So When You See...Be Sure to Flee.

RS08212025_0.mp3Scripture References: Daniel 9; Mathew 2

When God gets tired. Isaiah taught us that "the Creator of the ends of the earth be fainteth not, neither is weary." But God does grow tired of sin. He gets fed up with human injustice and arrogance and wickedness, just like we do. So, one day He'll dramatically push the chess pieces toward the end-game. We're in Ezekiel chapters 36 through 38 for the second half of Pastor Jim's message, When God Honors His Great Name.

Bones... and breath! Ezekiel saw some crazy stuff! Creatures with four faces; wheels within wheels, covered with eyes; a throne with a glowing human on it; and that valley of dry bones. The people of God were demoralized, defeated and deported. Could they be re-animated? "Can these bones live?" We're looking at signs of the End. Today and tomorrow Jim will bring us the sermon, When God Honors His Great Name.

RS08192025_0.mp3Scripture References: Ezekiel 36,37

To expect something but not be ready for it - why, that would be foolish! Half of the 10 virgins in Jesus' parable were foolish. They expected the Bridegroom to arrive... but they expected Him to arrive soon! They must have thought they had reasons to believe that. But they didn't really know the Groom - and that was their fatal folly. As we dive into Part 2 of the message, They Didn't Know, we're still looking at the Lord's answer to the question about when He'll return.

Could something that's never happened, happen? By definition, if something has occurred, we know it can occur. But what about the unprecedented? We have a blind spot in this area, don't we? If something has never happened, in the entire history of the world, it's so unlikely that we'd be safe to think of it as impossible. That's an error that humanity fell into before the Flood. Is it our mistake, too? Here's Jim to begin his sermon called, They Didn't Know. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH) at 9:30am, WHKC 91.5FM (Columbus, OH) at 5:00pm, WRFD 880AM (Columbus, OH) at 9:00am.

RS08152025_0.mp3Scripture References: Matthew 24:39;

Are you ready for the rain? There was only one way to be ready for the Flood, and that was to get in the Ark. Practicing your swimming "just in case" wasn't going to save anyone. It was the Ark, or death. And the only reason you'd get in that odorous Ark would be if you believed that judgment was coming. Today, as in the days of Noah, there are a few who believe that judgment is coming, and a great multitude who are "living for the weekend" - just like Jesus told us in Matthew 24.

If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning... for 120 years! Noah must have worn out his hammer building the Ark... then another one... then another one. All that pounding and all that "gopher wood" were a testimony to everyone around. There were other testimonies, too. But when water started falling from the sky - for the first time ever - people were confused. They "didn't know." Today we begin a study on the signs of the Lord's return.

RS08132025_0.mp3Scripture References: Matthew 24:36-44

Have we just stuck Jesus onto our old lives? When we look at the Apostle Paul's life, we see purpose. We see a plan. And his plan didn't always turn out to be God's plan, so that's reassuring. What we don't see is a life of leisure, putting in his time, coasting to Heaven. He was "all in." We're looking at Romans, chapter 15, and taking stock of the world, and of Christianity then, versus now. And asking, "What happened?"

RS08122025_0.mp3Scripture References: Romans 15:17-33

Looking back, looking forward. While wrapping up his letter to the Christians in Rome, Paul introduces himself! Today his mini-résumé would be the "headline" of his "profile page." It looks to the past. And then the Apostle focuses on the future. What's on the horizon - and why is he so driven to accomplish his mission? For a few minutes, let's think about our lives in this same way. Where have we been, and where are we going?

RS08112025_0.mp3Scripture References: Romans 15:17-33

Who should be ministering what, to whom? Toward the end of his letter to the Romans Paul gives us some background on his assignment to the Gentiles. He wasn't sent out with rituals and sacraments, or even hidden knowledge. It was a mission to bring the gospel in a powerful way. There's so much here in Romans chapter 15 that can correct human errors about "the ministry."

Got hope? Our world is in a freefall of despair. It would be depressing even to mention some of the tragedies we've seen recently - caused by empty philosophies and dark theologies. Where can hope be found? The Apostle Paul answers that question in the passage we'll look at today. Hope - and joy, and peace - come "in believing."

"Whatever is not from faith is sin." As we continue our discussion about living with others in mind, we'll come back to the last two verses of Romans, chapter 14. We can certainly scandalize another believer - put a stumbling block in his or her path - by flaunting our freedom. But we can also overstep our own conscience. It's a thoughtful, considerate kind of life that we're being invited to live. Here's Jim with Part 2 of, Living for Whose Pleasure?

What if you had to put all your proposed actions up for a vote? Your choices will now be approved by the committee! Sitting on that board will be your conscience, your family (especially your children), and others who look up to you. And a few strangers. That's not very practical, you're right. But if you're thinking it would infringe on your freedoms, Pastor Jim has a few thoughts he'd like to share with you. They come from Romans chapter 14, and they're presented in a sermon called, Living for Whose Pleasure?

The scoffer says, "There are too many hypocrites in the church!" His Christian friend answers, "No, there's room for one more." It may be true that the critic is looking for an excuse not to believe in Jesus, but his criticism hits closer to the mark than we would like. Concern for the reputation of God and His Kingdom is one principle that can guide us in the "gray areas." Here's Jim in Romans 14.
